The Band performed their legendary farewell show at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.

FYI, the Last Waltz show was recorded in 1976, but wasn’t issued until ’78…

(Editor: I’m not exactly sure what you’re correcting about the post, because I said 32 years ago today, but glad you enjoyed it and thanks for checking out MSD.)
